SHEPHERD CENTER FOOD DRIVE
THANK YOU!!
Our parish is collecting nonperishable protein, e.g. canned tuna, canned meats, peanut butter, etc., for the Shepherd Center. A receptacle for this purpose is located in the narthex. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
We have received two generous anonymous donations for which we would like to thank the donors: 1) a new four door freezer in Cumella Hall and 2) a new 5-ton air conditioner for the pulpitside of the church, replacing an older, lessefficient 3-ton unit.
